Genomic Characterization of Urethritis-Associated Neisseria meningitidis Shows that a Wide Range of N. meningitidis Strains Can Cause Urethritis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT Neisseria meningitidis , typically a resident of the oro- or nasopharynx and the causative agent of meningococcal meningitis and meningococcemia, is capable of invading and colonizing the urogenital tract.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Estrogen has long been known to possess immune-modulatory effects in diseases, and multiple pathological conditions show great sex disparities. However, the impact of estrogen in Neisseria meningitidis infection has not been determined. The present study

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.

A Selective Medium for the Cultivation of N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis [PDF]
Public Health Reports (1896-1970), 1964 A SIGNIFICANT complication in the control of gonorrhea is the large number of women who harbor undiagnosed, asymptomatic infection. Development of better and more rapid laboratory procedures for isolation and identification of the gonococcus would therefore help to control this source of the disease.

The development of an experimental multiple serogroups vaccine for Neisseria meningitidis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A native outer membrane vesicles (NOMV) vaccine was developed from three antigenically diverse strains of Neisseria meningitidis that express the L1,8, L2, and L3,7 lipooligosaccharide (LOS) immunotypes, and whose synX, and lpxL1 genes were deleted ...

Meningococcal Carriage in ‘Men Having Sex With Men’ With Pharyngeal Gonorrhoea
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 We assessed the characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis pharyngeal carriage in a cohort of ‘men having sex with men’, including patients with pharyngeal Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection.

Cell invasion by Neisseria meningitidis requires a functional interplay between the focal adhesion kinase, Src and cortactin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Entry of Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) into human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) is mediated by fibronectin or vitronectin bound to the surface protein Opc forming a bridge to the respective integrins.
